Visited the Big Island of Hawaii last month. I learned that the whole island is made up of five volcanoes. I really did not know much about them so ordered this book. The author writes the book so someone who is not a geologist understands it. Plus he writes about how he moved to the island and some of his adventures. It was a cute, fun read and I enjoyed it.
This was where I learned that the Hawai'ian islands have no snakes, and that bringing anything alive in from elsewhere is strictly controlled. It is a fun story about how a volcanologist got real-life field experience right after completing his degree and getting married. I just wish his wife could have become a veterinarian, and not felt that the time and culture she lived in could stop her. At least she had her cat!
It was a delight to discover and read Wendell Duffield's "Chasing Lava." As the son of a geophysicist who worked at Hawaii Volcano Observatory in the late 1950's and early 1960's, this account brought back many childhood memories of our time on Kilauea. It was interesting to learn how scientific methods for studying the volcano have evolved, and how the many subsequent eruptions have transformed the landscape since our time there. This information has been most useful in helping me plan hikes and other explorations for an upcoming visit to the national park.The author conveys the excitement of living on and studying one of the world's most active volcanoes. Highly recommended.
Anything by this author is worth reading if you're interested in geology. Also has written a wonderful book about volcanos in northern Arizona.
Others have commented on how well this book presents the science of studying volcanoes (as of the early 1970s, when Duffield spent 3 years on Hawaii). With no formal geological background, I found the science very understandable. Duffield emphasizes the science but includes enough of his personal experiences to give the reader a good idea of what life was like at the Observatory. Readers of this book should also get a copy of his recent book, Jiggles, Rolf, and the Remarkable Finale to Frank Stone's Career: a volcano on the north rim of the Grand Canyon comes to life. If you read Chasing Lava first, you will recognize the origin of some material in Jiggles; if you have read Jiggles, get Chasing Lava to learn the authenticity of part of the story line.
Wendell Duffield's "Chasing Lava" is longer on charm than adventure, despite the subtitle.You cannot work around an active volcano for three years without having a scrape or two, but don't expect "Chasing Lava" to be the vehicle for the next Bruce Willis film.No matter. As he says, "Kilauea (which has been erupting on the Big Island of Hawaii continuously since 1983) would be fascinating even without the occasional shaking and breaking of ground and belching of molten rock."Indeed, even if your interest in volcanoes is minimal, Duffield's memoir of moving to a quieter Hawaii in 1969 along with his wife Anne and cat Mingo has plenty to recommend it. From coping with mold -- not in those days regarded as a medical emergency -- to enjoying homemade ohelo berry wine, "Chasing Lava" will make many who yearn for the older, slower Hawaii mist up a bit.As for adventure, you cannot get a better setup than falling into a river of molten lava, as one of Duffield's colleagues did; but Hawaiian lava is a kinder, gentler sort, and the man escaped with nothing worse than a good story.This little memoir is published in cooperation with the Geological Survey's Volcano Hazards Program, and it gently imparts a good deal of factual material about volcanoes and volcanologists.From tidbits about how difficult it is to measure the tiny movements of the pulsing mountain to a history of how people first came to understand volcanoes, "Chasing Lava" is consistently interesting.Some of the first solid research about volcanoes was done at Kilauea, although even now, Duffield says, "More than once, Kilauea has leaked important new bits of information just when modern scientists thought they had finally pieced together the volcano's complex story."There is an underlying tension in this gentle memoir, created by the discovery -- to which Duffield contributed some early insights -- that at long intervals Hawaiian volcanoes slide catastrophically into the ocean."We should never take for granted," writes Duffield, "even such relatively benign volcanoes as those in Hawaii."
Wendell Duffield tells the tale of Hawaii's Volcanoes like no other. He masterfully mixes a biographical tale of moving to Hawaii and living here with his passion for studying volcanoes. The telling of both stories is infectious, you just can't put the book down. Even non-geologists will understand and appreciate how volcanoes are studies and why it's important to all of us.If you like this book you might also read "Volcanoes of Northern Arizona" and "When Pele Stirs" also by Wendell Duffield.
When I saw the cover of Chasing Lava, I had to pick it up.For many of us who live on the tops of these under seas volcanoes, the thought is never far away--How did it happen and are these dormant giants going to remain dormant? After all, dormant comes from the root word meaning to sleep. Sleeping things can awaken. Anyway, Duffield takes us by the hand and helps us to understand how they came to be. And he does so in a simple enough fashion and with enough humor and local color, to make the whole journey from the middle of the earth to its verdant surface a lark. Tke the trip. It's fascinating. By the way, Pele continues to increase the size of theIsland of Hawaii--that process which Duffield experienced 35 years ago--and she seems in no hurry to stop.
